We got our hands on some info that is packed with the Bold 9650 features and specifications. According to this image, the device may be set to release as early as May 27th as well. We know a fair amount about the Bold 9650 already (trackpad, addition of Wifi) but here are some of the other specs:
- 1xEVDO/3G
- 3.2 Megapixel Camera
- GPRS/UMTS
- GSM Quad Band 850/9001800/1900 mHz
- GSM Dual Band 900/1800 Mhz
- 2.4" TFT LCD Display, 480x360 65k color support
- Bluetooth
Nothing regarding the inclusion of the trackpad or Wifi on the Bold 9650 can been seen here (maybe they just got cut off the bottom?) but both will be included for sure. No word of memory either, but it would be great it if it were greater than 256 MB. Its looking more and more like the only change from the original essex/Tour2 is the Bold branding on the back. We're hoping for more details soon if this release date holds true so stay tuned.
